PHP Link Parsing

**truefreestyle** · 07-01-2009, 11:28 PM

Hey I'm fairly new to PHP and I'm having trouble getting links to parse on this page. For some reason 1 won't display, then other tags will. This feels like it should be a simple fix, or a shove in the right direction would be very useful.

Here is the script running live

Main File:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<?php include("php/scripttest.php"); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php
for($x=0;$x<count($story_array);$x++){
echo "\t<ul>";
echo "\t<li>" . $story_array[$x]->headline . "</li>\n";
echo "\t<li>" . $story_array[$x]->test . "</li>\n";
echo "\t<li>" . $story_array[$x]->description . "</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

PHP Script:
<?php

$xml_file = "xml/portfolio.xml";

$xml_headline_key = "*PORTFOLIO*PROJECT*TITLE";
$xml_test_key = "*PORTFOLIO*PROJECT*LINK";
$xml_description_key = "*PORTFOLIO*PROJECT*DESCRIPTION";

$story_array = array();

$counter = 0;

function startTag($parser, $data){
global $current_tag;
$current_tag .= "*$data";
}

function endTag($parser, $data){
global $current_tag;
$tag_key = strrpos($current_tag, '*');
$current_tag = substr($current_tag, 0, $tag_key);
}

function contents($parser, $data){
global $current_tag, $xml_headline_key, $xml_test_key, $xml_description_key, $counter, $story_array;
switch($current_tag){
case $xml_headline_key:
$story_array[$counter]->headline = $data;
break;
case $xml_test_key:
$story_array[$counter]->test = $data;
break;
case $xml_description_key:
$story_array[$counter]->description = $data;
$counter++;
break;
}
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");

xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents");

$fp = fopen($xml_file, "r") or die("Could not open file");

$data = fread($fp, filesize($xml_file)) or die("Could not read file");

if(!(xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)))){
die("Error on line " . xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser));
}

xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

fclose($fp);

?>

Found the answer as soon as I spoke up. The best answer is to follow the simple tutorial at W3CSchools. No parsing problems and a much simpler script. Hopefully this can be of use to someone.
